(part A) 

C            F       G       C 

Getting hung up all day on smiles 
	     F          G        C 
Walking down Portobello Road for miles 
	   F		 G 
Greeting strangers in Indian boots 
F		G 
Yellow ties and old brown suits 
Am		   G 
Growing old is my only dan - ger 

(part B) 
C       F           G      C 
Cuckoo clocks and plastic socks 
	       F   G       C 
Lampshades of old antique leather 
               F          G      Am 
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard 
F		   G 
Or the boots made out of feathers 
F       C 
I keep walking miles 
       F               C 
'til I feel a broom beneath my feet 
F       C 
Or the hawking eyes 
        G                G7 
Of an old stuffed bull across the street 
	       F           G       C 
Nothing's the same if you see it again 
	  F      G       C 
It'll be broken down to litter 
            F       G       Am 
Oh and the clothes everyone knows 
F                     G 
That that dress will never fit her 

(part C) C F  G C 

(whistling) 
F  G C 
(whistling) 
F   G Am 

(more whistling) 
F F  G G G G G G G G G G G G 

(all strummed downward quickly) 

(repeat parts a and b and then part a again with the last line) 
Am G C F G C 

Growing old is my only dan - ger
